Effect of physical activity breaks during prolonged sitting on vascular outcomes: A scoping review.

Emerging evidence claims the vascular benefits of varied frequency and duration of physical activity (PA) breaks, whereas the efficacy of varied intensity remains unexplored. We aimed to collate and summate the studies investigating the PA breaks at various intensities on vascular protection. Seven electronic databases were searched for potential studies till Jan 31, 2022.

Ultrasound Evaluations of Ankle and Foot Muscles in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

Background: Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is the prevalent microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). 30-50% of diabetics are likely to be affected by DPN. It significantly impacts the skeletal muscles, resulting in an accelerated loss of muscle mass.

Impact of artificial intelligence assisted compressed sensing technique on scan time and image quality in musculoskeletal MRI - A systematic review.

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has revolutionized the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders. Parallel imaging (PI) and compressed sensing (CS) techniques reduce scan time, but higher acceleration factors decrease image quality. Artificial intelligence has enhanced MRI reconstructions by integrating deep learning algorithms.

Effect of patient characteristics on aortic attenuation in iodinated contrast-enhanced Abdominopelvic CT: A retrospective study.

Introduction: Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography (CECT) abdomen and pelvis is a common imaging procedure. Hospitals typically follow fixed protocols of contrast volume administration for triple-phase CECT abdomen and pelvis scans and have found that patients are either underdosed or overdosed with respect to their body habitus. The aim of the study was to correlate different patient characteristics such as Total body weight (TBW), Lean Body Mass (LBM), Body Mass Index (BMI), Body Surface Area (BSA) and Blood Volume (BV) with aortic enhancement in the arterial and portal venous phases for CECT Abdomen and pelvis.

Effects of high-intensity interval training versus moderate-intensity continuous training on vascular function among individuals with overweight and obesity-a systematic review.

Background: The study aimed to investigate and systematically review the evidence relating to the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) versus moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) on vascular function such as arterial diameter, arterial stiffness, pulse wave velocity, blood flow, etc. in individuals with overweight and obesity.

Methods: The entire content of PubMed (MEDLINE), Scopus, SPORT Discus® (via EBSCO host), CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched.
